Heiankyo love story

Something had to be said to dispel the suspicion and self-abandonment that had just sprouted in Minamoto's heart, making him believe that "Fujiwara Yukihime never doubted Minamoto, or even considered such an issue at all."

——So, no apology, no more explanations.

Because explaining and apologizing are tantamount to acquiescing to the momentary wavering that I just had.

It is difficult to heal a wounded heart. It is necessary to keep the heart as soft as possible.

——To make "Minen Raihisa" believe that "Fujiwara Yukihime" has always trusted him.

Jiang Xue completed such thinking in an instant, and understood what kind of expression she should show.

Fujiwara Yukihime lowered her eyes slightly, her clear face was slightly worried because of her thoughts, and she said with a little self-blame: "I was too reckless before, which made Raiku worry. Now I want to visit Abe Residence..." After a brief After a long pause, she added in a slightly shy voice, "Lai Jiu doesn't have to be so far away from me. In that case, if we encounter anything again, Lai Jiu will definitely be in time."

Minamoto Yorihisa was listening to Fujiwara Yukihime with his head down, but when he heard the second half of the sentence, his gloomy and depressed expression suddenly changed. He couldn't help but wanted to look up at the other person's face, and he did.

In an instant, Minamoto Raijiu's eyes met a pair of pupils that couldn't hide their astonishment and concern.

In Fujiwara Yukihime's black eyes, Minamoto Raihisa saw his own deep purple eyes - through the princess's clear eyes, he saw his shaking.

How ridiculous!

As a samurai, he doubted, so he could not maintain a firm and unflinching heart.

When Fujiwara Yukihime showed a surprised expression, Minamoto Yorihisa suddenly realized that what he did was wrong, and quickly lowered his head, but his heart could not calm down like a drum beating.

The princess he served did not reprimand him for his negligence, but worried about his feelings.

Just one day ago, this princess always called him "Lai Jiu-kun" - she was not those noble princesses who grew up in Heianjing, she didn't have such a clear sense of dignity, she was like the winter sun, shining warmly and equally on everyone. one person.

Because of this, he wanted to serve her. It was his selfishness that made the princess take on his life.

—What reason is there to doubt?

——Did he hope that His Royal Highness Xue Ji would order him to block that monster with his body without thinking?

Even though he had already made such preparations—he wanted to protect Her Highness Xue Ji at all costs, but he never thought about whether His Highness Xue Ji was willing to use other people's lives as sacrifices.

It was clearly just his lack of ability, but he questioned this noble and gentle princess in an instant, and this princess knew nothing about it and cared about his feelings.

Minamoto Raijiu's shallow doubts and vacillations immediately dissipated, only the sense of guilt for not fulfilling his responsibilities was stronger than before. He walked behind Jiang Xue silently, and turned into a shadow again, but he was more vigilant than before. It was also one step closer to Jiang Xue than before.

Seeing Minamoto Laijiu returned to his usual position, Jiang Xue's expression no longer wavered, and finally heaved a sigh of relief, smiling and looking at another person who needed an explanation.

After solving Yuan Laijiu's problem, Jiang Xue relaxed naturally, thinking illogically that there should be no mutual jealousy here, right?What about "don't come in with your peers, rebuke indecent face to face" or something like that?Or put up a sign outside the door, saying "Stealing masters is prohibited, onmyojis and dogs are not allowed to enter"...

Thinking about it, Jiang Xue made herself laugh, and asked briskly, "So, would Master Ma Cang accompany me to visit the legendary Great Onmyoji?"

King Ma Cang Ye looked at the warrior and the two generals behind Jiang Xue, and said with a smile, "Speaking of which, Abe Seimei-sama is my senior from the same sect, so he should go and visit."

Jiang Xue let out an "ah" in surprise.

"Master Asakang and Master Seimei are from the same school?"

Ma Cang Yewang nodded with a smile.

"The ancestor of the Yu Maoliu school I learned was a disciple of Ka Maoliu, and Lord Seimei's teacher is a direct descendant of Kamoliu... Can Her Highness Xue Ji understand this?"

Jiang Xue quickly sorted out the connection between the two, and nodded knowingly.

Direct descendants and tributaries are easy to understand.

One is an ancestral top class, and the other is a nominal cram school opened by graduates from the top class. There may be many sets of "Five-Year College Entrance Examination and Three-Year Simulation" in between. In the front, they usually go to Tsinghua University and Peking University, and in the back, they go to Tsinghua University occasionally. Peking University, generally open excavators.

Of course, if you think so in your heart, you can't say it out of your mouth.

Jiang Xue thought about how familiar Ma Cang Yewang was with Abe Seimei before, and suddenly felt a sense of enlightenment, and said smoothly: "It's no wonder Master Ma Cang knows so much about Master Qingming... So there is such a it's fate."

After finishing speaking, Jiang Xue didn't know if it was her delusion, she always felt that Ma Cang Ye Wang's expression was a little bit wrong—well, did she say the wrong thing?No way?

She got it wrong?

Sensitive?

Jiang Xue looked at King Ma Cang Ye for a while, and smiled without any flaws again. Well, the micro-expressions are well done, even such a small character has rich expressions.

It shouldn't matter, after all, it's not the person she wants to attack, so don't worry about it so much.

King Ma Cang Ye smiled and looked at the two silent generals who followed Jiang Xue, one on the left and one on the right, and said politely: "I heard that Mr. Abe Seimei subdued the twelve generals many years ago... I am honored to meet the two generals today. It's an honor, my God."

The god looked at Suzaku and Tian, ​​and returned the salute one after another.

"I'm Suzaku."

"I'm Tianyi, nice to meet you."

After that, the two god generals remained silent again, just like Minamoto Raiku, who would never make a sound unless they were summoned.

This kind of silence represents an attitude-they will keep what they see and hear a secret, and will not reveal it to others, that is, "turn a blind eye, hear but not hear".

This is the basic quality of servants who have always served nobles.

No matter how great he was before being subdued, once he becomes someone's shikigami, whether it is a god general or a monster, he will have the consciousness of taking the onmyoji as his master and regard himself as a servant.

King Ma Cang Ye himself once regained the shikigami, and he is very clear about the rules and taboos of the shikigami. After saying hello, he stopped pestering the two generals and asked Jiang Xue: "When did Your Highness Xue Ji know Shikigami?" Two generals?"

Jiang Xue shook her head with a smile, and corrected King Ma Cang Ye's question.

"Strictly speaking, I didn't know the 'twelve' generals. I only knew Suzaku before, and I met Tianyi for the first time today..."

Thinking of meeting Suzaku for the first time, Jiang Xue felt that she was really a gambler at heart and dared to bet on anything.

"I met a monster in my house before, but fortunately I was rescued by the god general Suzaku... At that time, I just guessed that Master Seimei probably had a god general accompanying him to protect him. Looking back now, if there was no such thing that day..."

Jiang Xue shook her head, unwilling to continue talking.

If there were no god generals there that day, she would have to be half-dead if not dead.

King Ma Cang Ye couldn't help being a little surprised, and asked suspiciously: "What's going on here? His Highness Fujiwara Michijo's mansion has always been protected by an enchantment, how could a monster break in and almost hurt His Highness Xue Ji?"

Jiang Xue wanted to sigh when thinking about what happened at that time.

"Ha... It really had nothing to do with me at first, that monster seemed to be attracted by His Highness Zhang Zi's aura, and kept saying 'the daughter of the Fujiwara family smells so delicious'... Later... Anyway, the matter was resolved satisfactorily, right? That’s why I got to know the general Suzaku.”

Mrs. Lunzi valued Zhangzi's love and affection, so it was nothing to push her and Fujihime to feed the monsters. Although it was too cruel for those who were abandoned, for Zhangzi, Mrs. Lunzi was a good friend. Mother.For example, since that day, Mrs. Rinko has also worked very hard to treat "Fujiwara Yukihime".

It seems inappropriate to say that Mrs. Rinko's "no" in the past is now, and the Fujiwara family has already said that "Fujiwara Yukihime saved his sister bravely", so forget it.

Let the truth be buried with that monster.

King Ma Cang Ye was thoughtful, as if he felt that there was something hidden in this topic and it was inconvenient to discuss it in depth. He changed the subject and said: "This matter has not been publicized, and His Royal Highness Michiwara Fujiwara must think it is inappropriate. It is also because of... that there is a future." Her Highness Xue Ji used konghou to assist in the formation of the barrier?"

"Probably so..."

Jiang Xue recalled what Abe Seimei said at that time, as if she said that the barrier at that time could not stop monsters in human skin, so when reorganizing the barrier, she proposed to borrow the power of rhythm.

"Master Seimei said that he wanted to combine the power of rhythm and technique. He speculated that complex techniques would be more effective, so I borrowed the harp... Actually, the instrument I am best at is the erhu, not the harp. Anyway, now Fujiwara It’s a good thing that our family’s enchantment is stable.”

King Ma Cang Ye smiled leisurely.

"There is a piece of music that is unparalleled in the world that blends into the barrier. If monsters want to break through the barrier and sneak in, they have to play a piece of the same level and use the rhythm to break the rhythm... For monsters and ghosts, even if it is born from musical instruments Sangshen, it is probably difficult to play the same song. If you forcefully break the barrier with force, it will touch the caster, and you will not be able to 'sneak' into the barrier."

"So that's it." Jiang Xue suddenly realized, "No wonder Master Qingming said that the more complicated the technique, the better...Is it because the barrier recognizes the melody, not the emotion in the music? Being ruthless isn't considered a high skill... Ah, here we are, and the mansion of Seimei-sama is right in front of us."

Jiang Xue pointed to the door ahead and asked the two generals knowingly.

"Suzaku, Tianyi, right?"

Suzaku smiled and said "Yes", Tianyi smiled and walked forward to lead the way, gently opened the door, and said to the three people behind him: "Please follow me, if you go the wrong way, it will be more troublesome."

Minamoto Yorihisa looked at the ordinary wooden door and couldn't help but think, the house of the legendary Great Onmyoji looks very ordinary, even if he goes wrong, he can easily find the exit in such a small place.

Jiang Xue also felt a little strange when she heard this instruction. She had the impression that Abe Seimei's house was oversized and there were no other problems.

King Ma Cang Ye showed a clear expression, and asked softly: "Is it an enchantment? That adult arranged it himself?"

God General Tianyi stood at the door, right at the dividing line of the "door", and solemnly explained to several people: "There are roads leading to various places in the enchantment, and if you make a mistake, you may never be able to walk again." Come out. If you are really lost, please don’t continue walking, just stop there and wait for Lord Seimei to find you.”

Jiang Xue asked curiously: "Can't you find it? I mean, Tianyi, Suzaku...you twelve generals...should also know the way in the barrier, right?"

Tianyi lowered his head and smiled silently.

Suzaku scratched her hair and said embarrassingly, "I went the wrong way once... I had to go back to the heaven first, and then be summoned to the lower realm by Lord Seimei."

Jiang Xue couldn't help laughing out loud.

Doesn't this mean that the gods and generals are all lost!

Hearing the laughter, Suzaku originally wanted to give the laughing person a hard look, but when he saw that it was Fujiwara Yukihime, he forcibly withdrew his glaring, and said reluctantly, "So...don't get lost, Learn from me."

"Yes—" Jiang Xue dragged her voice, and nodded with a smile, "I will definitely follow Tianyi and Suzaku carefully, so I won't get lost."
